For a long time we have been talking about street art masters. In particular, about those who create unusual, albeit breathtakingly beautiful, graffiti on walls and fences, but about artists who give their creations a "living volume". Kurt Wenner is considered one of the most famous masters of three-dimensional painting. Today - about his work.
According to the "legend", Kurt became addicted to this art in his distant youth, watching a street artist draw an angel on the asphalt with crayons. The boy seized the moment when the author of the image went to have a bite, and with his own hand drew a head to his creation. Whether the self-proclaimed painter got nuts on his head, history is silent, but since then Kurt Wenner has been obsessed with the desire to paint. What, in fact, does he do, decorating the sidewalks, and sometimes also the walls of houses, garages and fences with special, voluminous paintings.
In order for the paintings living in the open air to be preserved as long as possible, Kurt Wenner invented his own recipe, according to which he makes himself special pastel crayons for drawing. The cost of such crayons is very, very high, the artist complains, but the result is worth it. Needless to say, even Pope John Paul II, during his visit to Mantua, the hometown of Kurt Wenner, was so delighted with the unusual paintings that he put his painting next to one of them.
By the way, this technique was used many centuries ago. So, in the 17th century in the Baroque style, artists often used a mixture of architecture and illusionary images, so standing in a certain place, one could see not just a picture, but a special, "living" fresco, which one just wanted to touch, stroke, and sometimes even to embrace.
